Britain's home secretary says he 'will not hesitate' to prevent the return of a British teenager who ran away to join Islamic State as a schoolgirl.
Sajid Javid issued the warning to Shamima Begum and others who fled the UK to join the terror group in Syria after it was revealed she is heavily pregnant and wants to come back.
'My message is clear - if you have supported terrorist organisations abroad I will not hesitate to prevent your return.'
Shamima Begum, 19, was found by The Times newspaper at a Syrian refugee camp where she admitted she does not regret joining IS and described being unfazed at the sight of a severed head during her time with the group.
She was one of three schoolgirls, along with Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase, from Bethnal Green Academy in east London who left the UK for Syria in February 2015.
